People are no longer being served food in regular bowls or on normal plates. In this day and age, normal dishes are becoming obsolete, and they are being replaced with just about anything and everything. It's a very odd phenomenon that is occurring all around the world, but especially in hipster, millennial, and new, modern restaurants. These places want to stand out, but enough is enough.

These ridiculous plating methods and presentations come in many forms. From being served pancakes and salads on planks of wood to being presented with tacos on a clothesline or pizza on a staircase. These chefs have no limits when it comes to what they will use as a plate, but their creativity is kind of impressive.

Here is a collection of 25 of the most ridiculous, insane, or just plain nonsensical plating methods and styles that people have been served while out to eat. Things are getting pretty wild in the fine-dining atmosphere.
